In 1984 I went to the California Super Bike school, It was noted that I had a tendency to point my toes out, and was at risk to drag them on the track. Keith Code suggested to me to swap my boots, wearing the left on the right foot, and right on the left foot.
At what track? I started racing at Willow Springs (which was also Keith's main track) in 1985. I've actually known Keith for years, although he probably wouldn't remember me. He certainly never was at a loss for an unorthodox solution. :mrgreen:

I used to run into him all over the place, like at a local restaurant in La Cañada/Flintridge all the time which we both frequented called the Hill Street Cafe (right at the intersection of Angeles Crest Highway and Foothill Blvd), or up at Newcomb's Ranch on the Crest, and I would bump into him at the racetracks when I was racing. I've had lots of conversations with him, although I doubt he would remember my name. I remember reading "A Twist of the Wrist" before I ever started roadracing. Willow was my home track, but our club raced regularly at Riverside Raceway too, and I've had a little track time at Laguna Seca a couple of times.

So I guess I'm not much help with the style your after.

Leather, over the ankle, additional armor over ankle and other spots likely to be dragged on the ground, fit and comfort.
I'm looking at the picture... You wear the left boot on your right foot, and the right boot on your left foot? :mrgreen:

I still have my old leathers and boots from when I roadraced bikes back in the 1980s. I have a set of Dainese "Freddie Spencer" replica leathers, and a matching pair of Sidi boots.

Here's what the leathers look like (minus his name and the sponsor patches): http://www.motomemorabilia.com/content/ ... spencer-25.

Here's what the boots look like: http://www.motomemorabilia.com/content/ ... spencer-24.

Yes... I was young and skinny back then, and not nearly as crippled up as I am now. :mrgreen:
